Furry Raiders Drama
9 years ago
I am very slow to pass judgement on anybody. Often, drama between groups is due to misunderstanding or preconceived notions, and I therefore prefer to remain neutral.
I first met members of this group at a furry social meet weeks ago. I saw the controversial arm band and was aware of some people linking it to the Nazis, but paid it no heed. People see what they want to see in any symbol.
I met another member of their group at Foxtrot this month. The arm band had now been turned into a sash worn around the waist. It actually was a rather nice sash and reminded me Eastern designs, now with their paw symbol in the middle. However the event organizers did not like it and forbade them to wear it at the meet, and that is their right.
In both occasions I remained polite and neutral with members of this group. However this polite neutrality is not an endorsement of their group, and I do not take kindly to them listing me as a trustee on their FA page. Until a friend on Twitter had alerted me to this, I did not even know they had done this.
It also doesn't help that their latest actions (booking 25% of the RMFC room block) have become rather divisive in the Furry Community. I refuse to be embroiled in this drama, and have politely asked them to remove me from their trustee list.
